TRUMP TO ICE: ‘GET READY’ — Agents to Take Over Airport Security on Monday if Democrats Won’t Fund DHS

President Donald Trump has announced that he has directed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents to prepare to step in and handle airport security starting Monday if Congressional Democrats continue blocking full funding for the Department of Homeland Security.

The announcement comes after Trump’s warning earlier in the day that he would surge ICE agents to airports amid the ongoing partial DHS shutdown, which has caused unpaid TSA workers and travel chaos during spring break.
